My Metaphor Poem.

My Family Is an Army.

My Stepdad is a soldier Firm and strong.

He would march 300 miles to be with us.

My Mum is the lieutenant.

Always keeping us in line.

My Baby Brother is an heavy artillery shell.

Big but highly explosive.

My 4 other little brothers are the bomb de activators.

Staying together as team.

I am the Sniper.

Fast, sneaky and nosy.

My family is an army.

Sticking together as a team.

Round The Bridges Practise

Today instead of doing normal fitness the people who are doing 5 km round the bridges ran 4 km for practise. At the starting line Tarron, Bailey and Byron sprinted off. Gradually we all caught up until about halfway when everybody slowed down a bit and they were gone again. I ran as fast as possible and came third because Jessie had beaten me. Slowly everybody arrived and Ms Whitwell said this is the last practise.

Week 8 Reflection

WHAT: This week we started off by doing a year six singing practise. The song we were singing was Hall of Fame. I thought that it was hard because the lines were coming on really quickly. On Tuesday we started social dancing my favourite dance was the Fox Trot. Wednesday was the most exciting day the road patrol people were going to see Madagascar 3. For treats we all got a sweet ice cream. On Thursday we had social dancing again.

NOW WHAT: This week I learnt a new dance called the Salsa it was a really fast dance. I also learnt how to work out times table problems.

NOW WHAT: This week I thought that I achieved my goal of not being nosey because I didn't put my nose in any teachers conversations.

Contract

For contract our co2 cars are not allowed to have circle wheels. We had to respond to that using yellow hat thinking. The yellow hat is the benefits hat.

My wheels are dodecagons. Dodecagons have 12 sides.

What are the good points? If the floor is smooth it will slide on one side the whole way.

What are the benefits? It might go faster on one side.

How will this help us? It will make us go faster which might beat the enemies.

Reading Activity

For reading activity we created a poster that showed people what to do in a lightning storm. This is mine
